“Is there difficulty switching input from DVD to TV (and visa-versa)? I am considering purchasing this for a very tech-challenged elderly. She currently has an LCD TV and separate DVD component. I have done EVERYTHING to simplify the process to switch back to cable once she has finished watching a DVD. Sadly, TV is her main entertainment since she is chair-bound and she is a movie addict! She has no problem putting in the DVD, as the TV will automatically switch the input...which I read in the manual, that is how this Insigna TV works, as well. It's when the movie is over that she can't change the input back to her cable box, and I wonder if that will be the same with this TV. She holds the input button and it just scrolls continually. Eventually she lets go and ends up on the wrong input and can't watch anything. I've tried an RCA switch so she can switch at the push of a button but she can't comprehend that she has to have the cable box off if she watches DVD and visa-versa. I am looking for a simplified setup!! Can this be it? Sorry for the lengthy question. Any advise is recommended.”

The TV will automatically change to the DVD input when a disc is inserted, just as you stated. To change back to her cable she would need to press the input button once to bring up the input selection screen. Then use the arrows and enter button to select the correct input. The TV has auto input sensing, which is a feature that only allows you to select an input that is receiving a signal. This means that when you pull up the input selection screen, only two options should ever be highlighted, those being whatever input the cable is on, and the DVD.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, very very simple my mother-in-law says (she is 71)..
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.She shouldn't "hold" the input button. Once she pushes in the input button and the input menu comes up, then she needs to tap the up or down arrow to select the desired input (such as HDMI1). Then she taps the enter button to take her back to the TV mode.
